exacto under-employed Posts: 1210	#1 Posted: 26/5/2009 - 00:00 I've always wondered how many people I pass on my trips to southeast Asia who are folks I've met here on the message board. On my last trip, I proudly wore my Travelfish t-shirt, but that was only once a week, and nobody seemed to comment on it. What about something else with the Travelfish logo that's easy to spot, like a logo patch for our day packs? Somtam, I don't even know if you are still selling the t-shirts and other logo items, but I'd love to have a Travelfish patch for my day pack or hat or something that is easy to spot. I'd be buying a beer too for anyone I spotted with a Travelfish logo item or for anyone who spotted me with one. Anyway, just an idea. I'd be happy to buy the patch and even happier to win one in any of the Travelfish contests that pop up from time to time. Cheers.

exacto under-employed Posts: 1210	#3 Posted: 26/5/2009 - 05:01 hi crispyrolls, yeah, the shirts were definitely for sale at some time in the past, since both me and the mrs. have one. but i guess they aren't for sale anymore? anyway, like the sticker idea. fun. love the idea of a hat too, since i'd have the chance to wear it alot and people could spot me as a fellow travelfisher. functional and a conversation starter. bonus.

christay2009 adventurer Posts: 269 Located in: United Kingdom	#18 Posted: 14/6/2009 - 18:56 i think a 'travelfish patch' would be a great idea, then you could sew it on to your backpack! It would be great free advertising too as even if you didnt speak to someone they'd probably see the patch on your pack Chris Helpful? 0 ------------------------------ http://theviewfromtheeast.blogspot.com

SBE under-employed Posts: 873 Located in: Global Village	#21 Posted: 15/6/2009 - 16:57 Marginally better than people attending TT pissups with a copy of LP in their hands so they can be recognized I suppose. It would be nice to actually meet up with posters IRL but I'm not wearing stickers and patches for 6 months on the offchance that there's a travelfisher on the same bus as me. It's bad enough getting stickered whenever you buy a boat ticket to places like Ko Tao. Of course, if we had a PM function people could exchange phone numbers/emails etc rather than having to look like they're part of some kind of tour. 8pm Gullies, I'll be the old lady wearing flipflops, ripped jeans and a punk T shirt. ;-) Helpful? 0
